I feel kinda slighted that you call them *his* Ohio meetups, which have been quite successful and aren't just run by him, but by a group of four of us including myself.  My take on the matter is that the site should be neutral towards meetups and cons; it's not really a battle over popularity in the first place and it's a mild abuse of power to pimp your own gigs simply because you have the ability to.  Personally I think it'd be best to randomly highlight a meetup from anywhere, whether yours, or ours, or Calgary's, our whatever.  As to PG-13, I was under the impression that he wasn't even for that.  It's a silly, silly rule.  *shrug*  There's always been far too much bitterness between you two and far too little collaboration, and that's no good.  I truly hope that somehow you guys can work things out, as friendship is magic, duh.  But srsly, this situation saddens me."}
